just something around 600 yd im just seeing what everyone likes while im sitting here board at working thinking i need another gun lol I wouldn't build.....I'd get a M70 EW chambered 7mm WSM or 7 Rem mag and then blow as much on a great scope as I could afford.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I thought he wanted something light and accurate...
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Oh well.....back to the drawing board.... Well, then I'd find a used Kimber Montana and rebarrel to 6.5 Creedmoor.I say that cause that's what I would like.

Nah, you got it all wrong, it needs to say "6.5 WSM." Whichever mousetrap did 3150 with 6.5mm 130s while breathing easy would make me happy.

if you have 1500 to spend on just the gun and wanted a light weight semi long range gun for deer sized game what would you build specs... caliber,action,stock,barrel I just did that. I started with with a Weatherby Mark V Ultralight six lug rifle ($899). It weighed 5 lb 14 oz. I replace the factory stock with a Lone Wolf and shaved six ounces ($756.10). Pac-Nor replaced the factory 24" barrel with a factory duplication fluted 26" contour nine inch twist and chambered it with my .257SLR reamer, threaded the muzzle for 7/8" to accept my home made muzzle brake($800). I added a Timney trigger ($90). Did I keep it at $1500? By the way the factory stock and trigger are for sale.

I have a B&C we put on my son's .270 and from a standpoint of pure function, it works just fine. But... Because of the way B&C runs the tube coming off the aluminum bedding block through the grip, the grips tend to feel thick in my hand. Other than that, they are just fine, and I wouldn't be afraid to run one if finances dictated I cut my groups in half on my .220 Extremest by replacing a McMillan with a Bell&Carlson. Who would think it?

Not sure why everyone gravitates to mc millan stocks. Because they're really good. you can get a Bell & Carlson for a lot less Which can be good and bad. and they work just as well. Not necessarily. sure do and aren't as heavy or hard cold plastic......btw I have used about 10 different suppliers not a whore for any of them
